The spell-check application of most word processing software programs would not catch a slip-up of these two words. Spell-check is looking for words that aren’t in its dictionary, and words that resemble words in its dictionary but are possibly spelled wrong. Spell-check isn’t perfect. It doesn’t know and can’t guess what word you wanted or what word you meant, it can only judge the words on the page. If you used words that are all spelled correctly, it gives you a pass anyway.

Autocorrect suggests words that start with the same letters. It’s suggesting what word you may want to save time, but quite often, its suggestions are pretty off base. They don’t help you out, but they do make you laugh.

Deprecate (pronounced “dep-ruh-kate” ) is a verb. It means to express discontent or disapproval of, to demean, to belittle. In pop language, “throwing shade” is a way of deprecating someone.

Depreciate (pronounced “dee-prish-ee-ate”) is a verb. It means to decrease the value of a piece of property. It can also mean the value of a piece of property losing value.

The following story uses both words correctly:

Daphne bought the best car she could afford, brand new. It depreciated $3000 right off the lot, which was expected. But she was enraged when it turned out to be a lemon. She joined a disgruntled Yeah cars owners messageboard, and deprecated their brand publicly every chance she got.

In the job of being as complete as possible, I’m going to report you those changes we missed. Fixed problems are in red text. EnjoyThanksgiving 2014

November 21

The Mayflower is no longer limited-time, rectifying a change made in the original update.

November 27

The Thanksgiving Store-front image was re-added, as well as Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. The Thanksgiving menu-section-image on the Store-Front’s description has now been erroneously replaced with “Black Friday has landed! For a limited time, get all the black Friday items here!”, which is the description for the Black Friday menu-section-image on the Store Front.

Players have encountered a glitch where the “Leftovers” quest will not trigger and Puritan Flanders’ “Self Punish” task now required “(Null)*”, disabling the task and rendering the task unusable. It also appears the one-time Outdoor Feast Table task “Host a Peace Feast for Puritan Flanders” for Sacagawea Lisa had disappeared as well.

Reportedly fixes the years-old Springfield General Hospital glitch that leaves many players without the ability to build it due to Chester’s quests involving the building when it might not be built. It is unknown whether something has been fixed for players WITHOUT Chester.

November 28

Fixes “Leftovers” quest not triggering, due to in the original launch files for November 28th is labelled “Thanksgiving 2014 Deprecate Quests”. It added a hidden “qst_CheckIfThanksgivingMeal02Complete_” quest in order for the “Leftovers” quest and the rest of the event questline to occur.

In the “Move/Build” menu, the River is textured with snow, like in the Christmas events.

December 1

Fixed glitch with Guitar Central where when you try to store it, instead of giving you the option to “Use”, it displayed “*null”.

CHRISTMAS 2014

December 5

A new task was added for Santa, to “Eat Milk and Cookies” for 4h at the Toy Workshop, with a reward of 2 Presents and 45 XP.

The Ice Palace and the questline “The Ice Princess” were deleted, as was “Santa’s List Pt. 7”.

There appears to be some sort of Donut Promo on December 22 that ends on 27.

A 1-part quest for the Destroyed Holiday Wheel has also been added which gives you a small bit of dialog between Krusty and Homer and requires you to place the item. Initially placing the wheel was not a requirement.

December 11

Ned can now do the task “Take The Boys Snowmobiling” before Rod and Todd have been unlocked, with two different, albeit hidden jobs; the rush cost for the task is now 18 Donuts; and the time it takes has been changed from 16h to 10h. The glitch involving storing the Flanders House is still happening.

There were minor script changes for Part 2.

December 22

Added a Gil promo.

Re-added the Ice Palace and relative questline to the files.

Added new questline, “Frankincense, Myrrh and Donuts”.

Re-added Guiseppe’s Workshop, and added a new limited-time questline for him – “The Italian Grenadessance!”.

The Christmas skins now only have the option to purchase them in the Store if you have the building.

Added the Part 2 questline.

Removed references to Black Friday on Black Friday’s items.

Added Ice Walls to Walls category.

The Elf-lectric Swatter is now called Elf Bottler.

The Event Leaderboard has been added back.

The Writers Building cash exploit was removed.

The end date of Part 2 changed to January 18. The time for the christmas day mini-event changed from middlenight GMT to 8am GMT.

It fixed Zutroy not being gifted once Tunnel 19 is completed. (Some users still reports the problem though).

It fixed the disappearance of the option to buy Donuts in the store for some people.

The glitch with “Jingle Bell Wreck Pt. 14” not clearing from the taskbook was fixed. (Some users still reports the problem though).

December 24

Introduced crashes.

December 25

Fixed crashes.

Removed the Sideshow You minigame.

Thanks for reading and happy tappings with the tie-in!

preg_replace(‘/[^a-zA-Z0-9_ -]/s’,”,$string);

If we want to keep some specific special character like “( ) / . % – &” then we just need to change it as follows

Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:18:42 +0000mofrubelhttps://mofrubel.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/turn-off-deprecated-warning-in-php/sometimes in our PHP website a unwanted warning appears called “Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in D:\xampp\htdocs\opencart\system\database\mysql.php on line 7″.

this is just a simple warning nothing so serious, so we can easily stop this type of warning from our website. To do so we need to add a Line of code to the top of the .php file like the following:

<?

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);

Or just add @ in front of mysql_connect () function like this:

@mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);

by following these two procedure we can easily remove unwanted Deprecated type errors.

Java 8 Friday

Every Friday, we’re showing you a couple of nice new tutorial-style Java 8 features, which take advantage of lambda expressions, extension methods, and other great stuff. You’ll find the source code on GitHub.

For the last two Fridays, we’ve been off for our Easter break, but now we’re back with another fun article:

Let’s Deprecate Those Legacy Libs

Apart from Lambdas and extension methods, the JDK has also been enhanced with a lot of new library code, e.g. the Streams API and much more. This means that we can critically review our stacks and – to the great joy of Doctor Deprecator – throw out all the garbage that we no longer need.

Apparently, this is still being developed actively… Why? Do note that the roadmap also has a LINQ-to-SQL implementation in it, including:

Parser support. Either modify a Java parser (e.g. OpenJDK), or write a pre-processor. Generate Java code that includes expression trees.

Yes, we’d like to have such a parser for jOOQ as well. It would allow us to truly embed SQL in Java, similar to SQLJ, but typesafe. But if we have the Streams API, why not implement something like Streams-to-SQL?

We cannot say farewell to Julian Hyde‘s Linq4j just yet, as he’s still continuing work. But we believe that he’s investing in the wrong corner.

Note also that the skipNulls flag and all sorts of other nice-to-have utilities are no longer necessary as the Streams API along with lambda expressions allows you to decouple the joining task from the filtering task very nicely.

Of course, once you’ve settled on using Guava throughout your application, you won’t remove its usage quickly. But on the other hand, let’s hope that parts of Guava will be deprecated soon, in favour of an integration with Java 8.

JodaTime

Now, this one is a no-brainer, as the popular JodaTime library got standardised into the java.time packages. This is great news.

Apache commons-io

The java.nio packages got even better with new methods that nicely integrate with the Streams API (or not). One of the main reasons why anyone would have ever used Apache Commons IO was the fact that it is horribly tedious to read files prior to Java 7 / 8. I mean, who would’ve enjoyed this piece of code (from here):

Base64 encoders

How could this take so long?? In 2003, we’ve had RFC 3548, specifying Base16, Base32, and Base64 data encodings, which was in fact based upon base 64 encoding specified in RFC 1521, from 1993, or RFC 2045 from 1996, and if we’re willing to dig further into the past, I’m sure we’ll find earlier references to this simple idea of encoding binary data in text form.

Now, in 2014, we finally have JEP 135 as a part of the JavaSE8, and thus (you wouldn’t believe it): java.util.Base64.

More?

Conclusion

As any Java major release, there is a lot of new stuff that we have to learn, and that allows us to remove third-party libraries. This is great, because many good concepts have been consolidated into the JDK, available on every JVM without external dependencies.

Disclaimer: Not everything in this article was meant seriously. Many people have created great pieces of work in the past. They have been very useful, even if they are somewhat deprecated now. Keep innovating, guys! :-)

Want to delve more into the many new things Java 8 offers? Go have a look over at the Baeldung blog, where this excellent list of Java 8 resources is featured:

What’s the replacement? An already existing functionality supported by most browsers (including IE from at least version 5.5!)

Use the “id” attribute of any element in the document as an anchor.

So clicking

<a href="#myanchor">Jump here</a>

will jump to the first element in the page with the id “myanchor”

<div id="myanchor">

— Strictly speaking, all element ids should be unique, so there should be only one. But I’m making allowances for bad coding.

Mon, 02 Sep 2013 05:43:42 +0000Nicolettehttps://tapestrytreasures.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/day-8-taming-your-tongue-the-self-deprecating-tongue/My friends: I am sorry, I wrote this about 2 weeks ago, and I must have neglected to push “Publish.”

So, we can gather by reading the Dictionary.com meaning, the verb, “deprecate” means to belittle, or show disapproval of.

One of the first times in the Bible where a person spoke of themselves in this manner was in the 4th Chapter of Exodus. God is equipping Moses to address the Pharaoh. Moses said to the Lord “O Lord my God, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” Ex 4 v 10 (KJV).

Now, I cannot imagine why Moses would say this to the Lord-perhaps he did not have the information we have today: “For with God, nothing is impossible.” Luke 1 v 37 (KJV) Perhaps he may have have had that information, but was self doubting anyway. I know that I have done this, and cannot say that in the future I won’t make this error in faith again.

Whatever the reason, Moses had self doubt, and spoke of it to the Lord. The Lord responded (paraphrased): Who made you? Who made your mouth, your hearing, your limbs? Was it not I? So, go and do as I have asked, for I will be with your mouth, and teach you what to speak.

Oh Moses… Again he challenges the Lord and says “O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.”

As you can well imagine the Lord was not too happy to have His servant question is judgement not once, but twice : “And the anger for the Lord was kindled against Moses….” Ex 4 v 14 (partial verse).

So, what have we learned so far? As far back as the Old Testament, even the most “Godly” men, (Moses) felt self deprecating, unsure of themselves, or unworthy of the Lord’s wishes, and expressed it to the Lord.

As human’s, we sometimes yo-yo between being boastful and self deprecating. This is generally when Satan has joined the conversation. Self-deprecation sometimes may sound like humility, but in reality, it is a rejection of the Lord’s word: The one that assures us that “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Phil 4 v 13 ) (KJV).

Dealing with a temporary problem for a long time can make us believe we have a permanent condition. Negative labels are easy to apply to ourselves when we have forgotten who we are in Christ.

“I am so fat!”

“Wish I could help, but I’m not that smart.”

“I am so forgetful.”

“Thank you for saying that, but I am really not beautiful.”

“Yes..our marriage did not work out, “I” am divorced.”

Have you been in a place in your life where the temporary seems permanent? I think we all have. It’s time to start a little “TRUTH TALK” to ourselves.

“Yes, I am over my normal weight, but I can exercise more, and eat less.”

“To help me remember where I put my keys, I will place them in the same place every time I step in my front door. Then, I won’t be so forgetful.”

“It takes two people to make AND break a marriage. It was not just “My” fault it ended.”

Temporary DOES NOT equal permanent.

Dishonoring/displeasing God is a very serious thing. God was upset when Moses complained and felt unable to lead the Israelites out of Egypt because of his speech impediment.

Rejecting the spirit of inadequacy is key to feeling/being obedient to the Lord. Keeping our minds renewed daily with the Word, can clean out any potential “cobwebs” (spirits) of self deprecation, and other spirits who try to control our minds.

God does not care as much about what others say about us, it’s the comments we make that sadden Him.

Deflecting complements is only one way we put our selves down. How do you think our Father feels when he witnesses this? We are His PRIDE and JOY! I know I don’t want to cause my Father anymore anger or pain. I know I am His Beloved. He shows me everyday.

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: “God is able to make all grace abound toward me; so that I always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”

After I took the shower I got dressed. I do that everyday as well. I am not a nudist.

As I was getting dressed, I was having a hard time finding clothes. By accident, I looked myself in the mirror while I was searching for clothes, half-clad.

I looked.

Before I continue, I would just like to say that, that is the most stupid thing anyone could possibly ever do. Looking at your naked or almost naked self in the mirror. Because, when I looked in that mirror I could see all of my flaws. I immediately went into negative thinking.

Negative thinking is getting easier for me, again. Since I have anxiety, I am prone to bad, obsessive thoughts. But earlier this year (Spring/Summer) I was appearing to get better with my way of thinking. I could handle my anxiety and even go into stores with no anxiety attacks, which is rare for me. But my negative thinking is going back to its old ways, and unfortunately it is not limited to any one place.

Negative thinking overpowers most things in my life.

Any who. I immediately criticized everything I could see. Mostly a specific region of my body, but everything, nonetheless.

I don’t really remember viciously getting bullied when I was younger or anything, either. People made fun of me every now and then, but I was no different from any other kid. For some reason I just love to self-deprecate.

Gahh.

You can take the code from the jQuery CDN: As usual, the CDN Google and Microsoft also have a short file. Please do not ask when it will be, I do not know and do not control these CDN! Use our copies directly from jQuery CDN up if you’re eager to get started. They are the same bits.No hope to get bug reports on this release, as there have been several beta versions and release candidates that all had a lot of chances to test it thoroughly. Ja, ja, joke that never gets old. We know that many of you now waiting for a final version before trying the code. So now there really is no reason to expect, and you can see if there are any errors that occurred antes.Si find an error, please create a test case in jsFiddle or jsbin and report bugs in our bug tracker. If you are unsure if you have found a, application error on our forum. core jQuery 1.8.0 is compatible with the latest versions of jQuery UI (1.8.22) and jQuery Mobile (1.1.1). Make sure to update those if you are reporting errors in the pages that jQuery involucran.Un turbines 1.8Vamos to summarize the major changes in this version: Sizzle redesigned: jQuery selector engine is faster than ever, thanks to a new version (well, actually two rewrites) Timmy Willison. Of course, the most browsers now have querySelectorAll, but almost all implementations are lower, in one way or in another, the creation of a bumpy road explorers. Sizzle paves the way for you. In addition, it is recommended that these useful extensions such as jQuery selector: has () with a selector or complex: contains (). Oh yes, and there is still IE6 / 7 soporte.Animaciones re-imagined: Over time, the code of jQuery animation had become a kind of messy. Frang Corey took a headlong plunge into the swamp and was able to eliminate most of the alligators, um, bugs. Most of the changes are under the covers, the existing animations so they have to work (and work better). But there are also some additions impressive animations general and extensible. A noteworthy feature is very cool callback and use of progress promises. I’m still working on detailed documentation, but we have a plan. Also, here is an example of the new code in action: CSS prefixes http://jsbin.com/odocid/1/edit.Automatic: When using a CSS property, both in css () and animate (), we use the prefix correct property (if applicable) to the browser … For example, take css (“user-select”, “none”). In Chrome / Safari you set the value to “-webkit-user-select” Firefox will use the “-moz-user-select”, and IE10 will use “-ms-user-select”. Greater flexibility with $ (html, props) in jQuery 1.8, you can use any method or jQuery plugin for the object passed to the $ (html, props). First, you can use only a small list of method names, and there was no documented way to add to the list. Now it is not necessary to list all! Note, however, that this can cause the behavior of code to change later if you add plugins that have the same names as the attributes of 160 bugs closed HTML.Más: The sizzle and entertainment rewrites in particular, was the impetus for solve different standing bug, some of which have been around for two or three years. Mike Sherov addressed most of the open issues and CSS positioning, giving us almost no errors there. In addition, there was no follow-up and pounding away to eliminate the differences between IE 6/7/8 annoying and modern browsers, so you do not need to deal with code size ellos.Menor: Still cleaning code, new features and bug fixes, size of the file compressed with gzip jQuery 1.8 is actually less than a few hundred bytes to jQuery 1.7.2. The reduction in size was not our main objective in this version, but we felt it was important to keep the line of code development, and certainly succeeded. Many thanks to Richard Gibson to direct load crunch Code throughout the proyecto.Modularidad: If you know jQuery and project dependencies, you can use the new system based on snort generation should remove parts of jQuery you know that you do not need. What we have done here for 1.8 is really just the beginning, you will see even greater flexibility as we move to the versions posteriores.El full changelog is available below, in case you are wondering if the bug is preferred was crushed. eliminadoLa What was the short answer is “very little”. We wanted to offer a generous characteristics of the period of notice will be removed obsolete in 1.9, to give people time to adjust their code. Some of the things that have been removed in 1.8 detained undocumented that some people have cleverly reverse engineering, but it is always risky to use undocumented functions. These are the elements removed: $ data (element) (“events”). In version 1.6, jQuery separated from their internal data of user data to avoid conflicts. However, some people were using illegal internal structure “events” of data that it can still recover through. Data (). This was collected at 1.8, but you can still get the event data for debugging purposes by $. _data Element (“events”). Note that this is not a public interface support, real data structures can change in a manner inconsistent version versión.Deferred.isResolved () and Deferred.isRejected (): called N-1 Boolean methods to obtain the status of a variable N-state was always a bit ‘silly, so we added Deferred.state () in jQuery 1.7 to mean the state in a single call. Therefore, these two methods are not needed. It ‘much more convenient for debugging scenarios they often want to know the status of a deferred as a string .. $ (Element) closest (Array) returning Array: .. This was a strange method signature closest () to be used by ancient live (), but is not used by any other code as we know. Use the nearest standard. () Returns a jQuery object are not affected by this firm to remove .. $ CurCSS: This method is just an alias for jQuery.css () in jQuery 1.3 onwards. Although it has never been part of the API documentation, the external code has been known for its use, perhaps thinking it was “more efficient”. Now it’s “gone” .. $ AttrFn: Yet another item without documents used to define the methods that can be used in conjunction with $ (html, props) signature. Although there is no point function in jQuery 1.8, dollars are leaving empty. AttrFn in jQuery to prevent errors in code using launch. Fair Warning: This will be completely removed in jQuery 1.9, in order to update the code when the credit is the version debidoEsta would not have been possible without the hard work of the team of talent jQuery Core: Julian Aubourg (jaubourg), Corey Frang (Gnarf) , Richard Gibson (gibson042), Mike Sherov (mikesherov), Rick Waldron (rwaldron) and Timmy Willison (timmywil.)

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 05:45:29 +0000Etymanhttps://etyman.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/humblebrag-h%ca%8cmbel%cb%8cbraeg/So what do the following tweets have in common?

Just seen the TV ad for the unauthorised book on me. Yikes! (@SimonCowell)

Being a celebrity has afforded me many opportunities but has also boxed me in creatively (@kanyewest)

The desk is almost clear. Work on memoir, film all but done. Maybe I can allow myself the weekend off before beginning work on my TV series? (@SalmanRushdie)

Well, they are all examples of humblebrags, and a humblebrag is defined by the sporadically accurate but always entertaining Urban Dictionary as;

When you, usually consciously, try to get away with bragging about yourself by couching it in a phony show of humility.

The rise of Twitter has ushered in a golden age of humblebragging, and not only for celebrities. Here are a few examples from ordinary folks, just like you and me;

I gave a speech at TEDx and now it’s on the internet. If you’d like to be uninspired for fifteen minutes, click here:

Great. The same week I lose my fake tooth down a sink, I get asked to be a photoshoot model. I’ll be serving gap-toothed realness.

I hate when people tell me, ‘You’re too pretty for tattoos’ …shut up …it’s art.

As you have probably worked out, the art of the humblebrag is to combining shameless self promotion along with fake humility. In all of the examples above, you’ll see the two basic components; the brag and the self-deprecation. For example, the underlying structure of the statement from Simon Cowell is;

The Deprecate [1]: Yikes, I am the victim of an unauthorized biography.
The Brag: I am so famous people want to write whole books about me.

In the Kanye West example:

The Deprecate: I am stifled by my celebrity status.
The Brag: Hey, I’m a celebrity!

And in the Salman Rushdie tweet:

The Deprecate: I’ve been so busy and need a rest.
The Brag: I’m so busy because I’m so clever and have TV shows and memoirs.

The Brag/Deprecate structure can, I suggest, be applied to any humblebrag. The deprecate also functions to try and give the impression that the braggart is “just a regular person” but is clearly just a smokescreen to allow for the brag.

And even the Merriam-Webster lexicographer Peter Solokowski is not above the occasional humblebrag, as evidence in this recent tweet:

The Deprecate: How humble I feel.
The Brag: Look, the folks at Slate are writing about me!

It’s possible that some folks unconsciously fall into humblebragging, but in the Twitter environment, one of the major points of the entire system is to allow people to talk about themselves and share their lives with a world that they think cares. Twitter is, by and large, an example par excellence of the “Me Generation,” [2] and is up there with Facebook, its more wordy companion.

Facebook takes humblebragging to extremes. It’s an opportunity to people to post to the world how special they are, how great their lives are, how talented/beautiful/important they are, and indulge in an orgy of mutual appreciation. It’s tailor-made for parent humblebraggers, whose postings are always thinly veiled brags about how smart their kids are. The subtext for “My 18-month-old won’t stop talking and it is driving me crazy!” is;

The Deprecate: I’m stressed, just like normal parents.
The Brag: Look how smart my kid is! Talking at 18-months. Must be a genius. [3]

A colleague of mine will go for months without posting to Facebook – until she takes a trip abroad and starts the rounds of “OMG, so tired after landing in Sydney” or “Almost fell asleep in the Sydney Opera house because of the jet lag.” Once back home, we never hear “Just got back from Wal-Mart with a new can opener” or “Took the trash out and it was raining.” Nope, it’s only the glamorous world that we hear about.

And that, of course, is what humblebragging is ultimately about; it’s a way of creating the image we want to be, as opposed to displaying the image of what we actually are. We post the edited highlights of our lives and polish them up just a little because we don’t want to appear – heaven forbid! – boring.

Tweets and Facebook posts therefore take on an air of excitement and drama, which is the purpose behind editing. The film director, Alfred Hitchcock, once famously said;

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.

Hence the rise of the humblebrag. We become dramatic; we become interesting; but we also want to be simultaneously special and ordinary. Kanye West may want to sound like “just like an everyday person” but he doesn’t actually want to be one! When celebrity Tila Tequila tweeted;

I hate my lambo! Police is ALWAYS pulling me over just cuz its a lambo so they always think I’m speeding but I’m not!! Then they let me go!

..you know she’s trying to sounds “just like one of us who gets pulled over” but she also wants you to know she (a) has a Lamborghini and (b) gets let off because she’s a celebrity.

Tila’s lambo: Such a bore

The humblebrag is essentially a form of paralipsis, which is a rhetorical device used by a speaker to bring attention to something by professing to be ignoring it. If a politician says, “Irrespective of my honorable friend having once been charged with tax evasion, I believe there are many reasons for not voting for his being Head of the Treasury,” that’s paralipsis.

Although humblebrag has not yet made it into any of the standard dictionaries, it did make it into the American Dialect Society 2011 Word-of-the-Year list, an although it lost out as WOTY to occupy, it did place first in the “Most Useful” category. It therefore may simply be a matter of time before it becomes a dictionary word.

Clearly it’s a portmanteau word made from humble and brag. The OED defines humble as;

Having a low estimate of one’s importance, worthiness, or merits; marked by the absence of self-assertion or self-exaltation; lowly: the opposite of proud.

It appeared in Middle English as umble, humbul, humbyll, and oumbbylle, originating from the Latin humilem, meaning lowly, small, or insignificant. This, in turn, came from humus meaning earth or ground.

Back in the 16th century, brag meant, “A loud noise, the bray of a trumpet,” and it is that sense of a braying trumpet that lead to the modern meaning of arrogant or boastful language. There’s still uncertainty about the word’s origins but one suggestion is that it derives from the Old Norse brak, which is a “creaking noise.” Another is that it is from Old Norse bragr meaning “the best, the foremost, the boast or toast.”

Whatever the origin may be, I’m betting that humblebrag will slide into the dictionaries within 5 years – unless we all suddenly decide that self-promotion is a bad thing. And my guess is that the world will end before true humility makes a comeback.

Postscript 6/11/12
Remiss of me not to mention the excellent @humblebrag Twitter stream run by Harris Wittels. It’s well worth following for the splendid examples of painfully obvious false humility, or just catch up now and again at http://twitter.com/humblebrag

Notes
[1] I’m using the term deprecate to refer to the element of the sentence (or narrative) structure that is used to convey a sense of “ordinariness.” The word itself derives from the Latin deprecare meaning “to pray away” or “to ward off.”

See also Twenge, J.M. (2009) The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement. New York, NY: Free Press.

[3] Sadly, the bitter truth is that although everyone believes their children are above average, statistically that cannot be the case. The odds are that your kiddo is average and no amount of humblebragging will change that. I am, in fact, so confident of my claim that I predict that YOU who is reading this NOW will be convinced I am wrong and that your child is the exception, and although you might grasp the statistical truth, you are psychologically unable to accept that your offspring is anywhere other than at the top end of the bell curve.
